Henry Jones, an intelligent-lookins
negro, is creating intense excitement
among the colored people OF Claren-
don county, South Carolina. He de-
clares that he is a prophet of God Or
dained to reveal the future to the
colored people. He tells wild stories
about the near approach OF the end
OF the world, which are believed by
large numbers of his ignorant follow
ers. A famine in two years is predict
ed, when dollar in gold will not be
worth two quarts of corn. The pres
emit condition OF many negroes makes
them ready to believe such prophecies.
Jones tells them that Jesus has order
ed him to select twelve OF the sisters
OF the church to be his disciples and
follow him through the streets. One
woman has already joined him.

In the political campaign now going
on in Canada the Liberals say that
when they were in power the public
debt was increased 81, 446, 400 a year,
and that the Tory rule has resulted
in an increase OF S12, 900, 900 a year.
OF source the Conservative say that
they have made many public inn
provements, while the Liberals think
that the costly wars can hardly be
reckoned with the improvements.
Besides the increased population,
commercial traffic, aud wealth OF the
country ought not to be so dispro-
portionately small compared with the
annual increment OF the public debt.

A good deal has been said of the do
nothing proclivities of Congress.
While this is partially true, 1t should
not be forgotten that the present Coz
gress has passed two acts of the very
first Importance in reference to the
presidential Office. One OF these laws,
enacted a year ago, changed the order
OF succession to the office, so that
hereafter the Secretary of State, and
after him the other members OF the
Cabinet in order, will become President
and the Vice President. The other
law, which has just been passed, sup.
plies an omission in the Constitution
by providing a method of counting
the electoral votes. Ali that the Con-
stitution says in reference to this mat.
ter is,that "the President of the Senate
shall, in presence of the Senate and
House OF Representatives, open all the
certificates, and the votes shall then
be counted"

The population OF France. &c

The population OF France, accord
ing to the census published in Jan.
has increased only q little more than
100000 in the past five years. In
Paris, the increase is only Is, 900
whereas during the five years preced-
ing. it was 100000. The French
capital has now a population .oi
2,344,O 900, but it's superbs have
grown more rapidly than Paris
itself. Fifty-eight departments are
increasing, but 20 agricultural depart
ments present decrease OF 10000.
The excess of births over deaths since
the last census is 100000, so that
the remaining 15o, 900 may be attrib-
uted to foreigners.

Don't you call me that" and put his
hand on Bodies head. Bohle struck him

hammer from tool box near him and
struck Bohle as he came on. Unger's hand
was cut by fall. He struck Bohle twice
and Bohle fell back on the cola. Unger

There can hardly be doubt that
there is something wron~ sbout the
Indian country; says t! n Fran.
cisco Chronicle: There Is ..ot a. Jail
anywhere within the bounds of the
Cherokee reservation. No country
can ever be at a high point of civiliza-
ton in which there are no jails and
nobody does anything to need them.
We have always been taught to look
upon Damon and Pythias as one OF
the most beautiful stories of friend
ship and honor. Listen TO this from
the Cherokee Indian and ask yourself
# it does not eiAe you some different
opinion of him. An Indian was shot
;or killing another man some time
ago. A stranger in the territory hap
oened to be with the sheriff when the
news that the appeal had been lost
and the sentence must be carrie out.
eyes," said the sheriff, "J'll have to
have the poor fellow shot,"
"Where is he? don't see any jail"
"He's at home"
"a prisoner under sentence of death
at hOme!"
"Certainly; he's out on his word.
He's been at home three months.
We've got no jails here"
well, you don't expect to get him
to come and be shot?"
"Certainly I do. He'll be here to-
morrow. sent for him."
And the merry stranger laughed.
Next day he was on hand to witness
the sheriff's discontinue. But few
minutes before the hour a cavalcade
appeared in the distance. 1t was
headed by manly young Indian and
it was made up of his friends. They
rode calamity up and the yOnng In
dian surrendered himself to the sheriff.
He went about among the crowd,
shook hands with everybody, gave
one his saddle, another his horse, and
so on, until he had disposed Of all he
possessed. Then he selected his
bosom friend as the man to fire the
fatal shot, an honor his bosom friend
esteemed highly. He took his place,
pinned a piece of blue ribbon over his
heart, the point the bullet was tc
take, and stood up like a man. A few
seconds, there was a shot, and he was
dead. wonder if there is nothing at
all the white man can learn from the
Cherokee Indian.
